Inner Grinifrin system (System 1-B)
19th December 2139AD
1st Warmonger Brigade of the Helian Empire, 72nd Battleship brigade of the Helian Empire

Ships: 4 Warsaw class Warmongers, 5 Tellus class Warmongers (1st warmonger brigade), 7 Wellington class Battleships (72nd battleship brigade)

"Originally I wanted this to be a battleship for my capital city series, yet after being selected for the Warmonger program, I thought that the ship could use some sizing up and some more weapons...Those beams would likely scare any ISC Admiral after the mass production of Wellies, let's hope this puts an end to this bloody war"

-Arleigh Ju-Anne, ship designer of the Wellington, Sao Paulo, Cairo and Beijing class Battleships and the Warsaw class Warmonger

"Once the Tail is snipped...the Prince Ruperts drop shatters, not so strong now is it? Once we take Baxtor, the ISC will be in such a state, Shattered, into many remnants, our new Warmongers will Hunt them down, ship by ship, station by station until they are not but pages of text in history books! (Snaps a prince rupert drop infront of advisor for some dramatic effect lol)"

-Emperor Ron B. "Benevolent one" Asori upon seeing the 1st Warmonger Brigade jump to the Grinifrin Wormhole

After putting up a long grueling siege operation, the Empire is succeeding, the navy has reported nearly full control of the moon system, only some minor skirmishes over Huntrinar, yet Imperial numbers are dwindling and repair facilities on and in orbit of Baxtorian moons have been destroyed by ISC workers after being sieged...supplies are running low and the ISC have been hunting supply convoys with a new, yet unkown ship, this ships proportions are said to be about similar to that of a battlecruiser and wielding reverse engineered helian Beam turrets from fallen Helian battleships, while on Baxtorial shipyards, defence garrisons are being mass produced supposedly with materials from the baxtorian emergency reserve, sources say that if this is the case, the Confederation knows they have the numbers to destroy or heavily damage the Helian ships within the Baxtor system, leaving to repair on Ultaheim is Said to likely be impractical since it'd take hours to get to the Tundra, in that time the ISC could possibly wipe the damaged ships left to defend the sieged moons, fortunately, our military Is sending a new class of vessel to break the blockade and siege baxtor itself, this vessel is of currently unkown proportion yet is reported to be "Bigger than a battleship", We wish our pilots the best Prosperitas imperio, Prosperitas humanitati

Fleet warps to The outer Baxtor system

Contact: 12th Battlecruiser Brigade (8 Tully class beam Battlecruisers), 7th Heavy Carrier Brigade (2 Gebranor class Heavy carriers (each carrying 10 medium fighters and 2 Komn class light corvettes)

ISC Fleet Admiral: Brenda W Abelon
ISC Flagship: Tully class Battlecruiser "ISC Elk"
**Helian Empire Fleet Admiral: Sandra Hutchins
Helian Empire Flagship: Warsaw class Warmonger "Hayabusa"

(H)(Hutchins, Warmonger "Hayabusa")"Contact up ahead, Battleships, take on those carriers, Tellus class Warmonger captains, follow suit, provide cover from the fighters and corvettes, The other Warsaw class warmongers and I will take on these cruisers, once the Carriers are finished take on these cruisers"

(H)(Yolanda, battleship "Trojan")"Affirmative launching first salvo"

(H)(Richard, Warmonger "Hampshire")"Roger that, getting into cover positions"

(ISC)(Abelon, Battlecruiser "Elk")"7 hells...what...ARE these things! (Proceeds to pant)"

(ISC)(Zhuk, Battlecruiser "Dominion")"Unkown battle axe looking warships appear to to have heavy intergrated weaponry and a large array of battleship grade weaponry, yet it has limited ciws, although they seem to be modified, the other large ones appear to have a large amount of CIWS and heavy weaponry, above that of battleship grade, the other ships are standard Wellington class Battleships, non modified, thats what the radar crew reported"

(ISC)(Abelon, battlecruiser Elk)"lack of CIWS, carriers send squadrons to the battle axe looking ships, cruisers, we will take out those Wellington and then those larger warships, im scanning for nearby fleets for backup and carrier captains, assume evasive manuevers and defencive stance, focus fire on Wellingtons"

(ISC)(Blaine, Carrier "Harrier")"Roger that, manuevers underway, fighters and corvettes shall, focus fire on those command buildings, try breach those gas canisters, gas will leak out and their intergrated cannons will be obsolete"

(ISC)(Simmons Corvette "Ron")"focusing fire on tanks"

(H)(Hutchins Warmonger "Hayabusa")"Cruisers are making their way to The others, Warsaw captains, block their path, charging primary cannons,"

(H)(Vasili, Warmonger "June")"Focusing swarm fire on hostile fighters, most of them are falling like flies!"

(H)(Oliver, Battleship "Mariana")"Launching Torpedoes, hostile carrier has been breached!"

(ISC)(Abelon Battlecruiser "Elk")"Portside! Fire beams! We need to penetrate those tanks!"

(ISC)(Blaine Carrier "Harrier)"Hull breached! Targets are aiming for the Shield magnetisers!"

(ISC)(Abelon, Battlecruiser "Elk")"Enemy cannons seem to be charged! BRACE!"

(H)(Hutchins, Warmonger "Hayabusa")"Fire! Beams charge!"

The salvo is fired from all Warsaw class warmongers, the Hayabusa and the June have hit the Elk while the Kuiper and Helios hit the "Rinekaso", the Elk suffered immense damage yet is operational, suffering a major hit to the Shield magnetiser and some gas cells, as for the Rinekaso, the ship was critically damaged and finished off by Auxiliary fire from both the Kuiper and Helios"

(ISC)(Simmons Corvette "Ron")"This is the Ron, we've sustained significant damage from enemy swarms, our engines are no longer operational, im ordering the crew to get into the life pods and self destruction the ship!"

The Crew of the Ron abandon ship and the ship is destroyed

(ISC)(Abelon Battlecruiser "Elk")"Damage is severe..., crap, well it appears this is our coffin now..."

(ISC)(Baxtor Orbital Command)"Fleet Admiral Abelon, you and your fleet are ordered to make a tactical retreat, head back to the Fields (code word for shipyard industrial complex), regroup, we will counter the helian threat once we've analyzed what it is!"

(ISC)(Abelon, Battlecruiser "Elk")Roger that.. Fleet, we have to withdrawal, Orbital commands orders not mine, carriers, you jump first, ensure your fighters and corvettes are onboard, jump out, we shall follow suit once you are safe"

(H)(Hutchins Warmonger "Hayabusa")"Targets appear to be retreating, everyone, focus fire on the Elk and Uldon!, Beams Fire!"

(H)(Richard Warmonger "Hampshire")"Roger that!"

(ISC)(Blaine Carrier "Harrier")"Sustaining heavy beam fire! I'm orde-"

the Harrier was destroyed by helian Beam fire, most of the crew hadn't yet evacuated, most of them had perished, eventually, the ISC Fleet had withdrawn, with the Hayabusa being destroyed and the Uldon being heavily damaged,

(H)(Hutchins Warmonger "Hayabusa")"Well that's that...Outer baxtorian orbit is secure, supplies and other Warmongers from the Siege Fleet can come through without any worry..."

-The Battle of Outer baxtor, 19th December 2139AD, The first battle in History to see the use of Warmongers, ending with the ISC blockade retreating to regroup with the Baxtorian defence fleet, with the blockade clear, transport vessels can come through safely as well as the Baxtorian Siege Fleet,

The Warsaw class Warmonger

The Warsaw class Warmonger is amongst the first class of Warmongers to be built by the Helian Empire as part of the Warmonger program. At the time Helian Engineers, who were part of the Warmonger Program saw Warmongers as "Large Weapon Platforms" wielding a large amount of somewhat modified battleship grade weaponry to bring better, more prolonged fire to the battlefield while having great defence capabilities , from thickened armour to experimental shields and also utilising ultra heavy weapons to destroy smaller ships easily thus ending conflicts much quicker,since at this time, Warmongers were meant to take on vessels of smaller size and class, not other Warmonger class vessels, the Warsaw being one such ship which embodies the "Large weapons platform" idea, since it brought supporting fire capabilities to battle while still being able to capital warship dogfight other ships with its 2 heavy cannons. This ship has many command centers to sport turret gunners, radar and other combat sensors to help the crew navigate a large area of space and turret gunners to alert other warships of incoming enemy ships. The Warsaw class Warmonger had been used in many battles, yet most notably, the Siege of Baxtor, where their ultra heavy capital weaponry became pretty loved by captains thanks to large plasma bolt sizes being able to nearly one-shot enemy vessels. This is what made Helian Engineers change their perspectives of Warmongers slightly, making them focus a bit more on the Intergrated ultra heavy capital weaponry, hence implementing it more in future designs, yet like older helian designs. This Warmonger had proven to be Obsolete during the beginning of the Puspellian war and was thus discontinued in 2184AD.

Role in the Post Shattering Interstellar war

Broken off Factions which have had Old Warsaw class Warmongers had seen potential in the design, often repurposing the ship as a heavy carrier and command center due to all of its turret and radar buildings being repurposed into command centers for fighter squadrons and even storage areas for extra supplies or weapons, as for the Helian Remnants, most remnant forces have stripped away some weapons, upgraded the engines and have improved the radar and sensor centers in order to make these warmongers heavy reconnaissance vessels, made for mapping out entire barrack clusters, helping the remnants quite a lot.

Funfact

This ship was a Literal accident!
Yes, I originally was making the Wellington class Battleship, and the 1st design looked really trash...it was too short and the weapons weren't proportional..., so I made a 2nd variant, and some how...

Yeah...so, this happened and The design looked pretty good and I didn't want to scrap it or anything, so I just made its its own ship lol, this wasn't the first time I accidentally made a Warmonger, it previously happened with the Huverix Class Warmonger, it was supposed to be a torpedo battleship but...yeah, it got too big.

Now onto some important stuff
